Rumors in the Marc Jacobs world are always flying around. The latest one is saying that Marc is opening a restaurant, or a café. Partner Robert Duffy is looking for a space uptown and the menu already includes Marcaroni and cheese, honey buns, meatballs, or not? Time will tell.
Tom Ford is said to give a preview of his first womens collection during New York fashion week. Exciting.
Marc Jacobs bookstore is now open on Bleecker street. The store will sell carefully choosen books and other fun stuff by Marc Jacobs like, pens, notebooks, and calendars.
Watch here.
Finally. Alexander Wang found a space for his first store. 103 Grand Street, right in the heart of Soho. I am guessing that the space will become beautiful with its large windows. I am curios about the interior and I know someone who will become a regular.
Ps: The space used to belong to Yohji Yamamoto and this is what it looks like today.
“I’m quite anti-consumerist; It’s difficult for me being a designer in an industry I don’t like. When I design a collection I find myself thinking, ‘Why do we need new clothes?’ I never think about the fashion people . . . They are not my concern.
Big breasts and lips. No! I hate those girls. I hate famous women. My ideal woman is Serge Gainsbourg. Not that he was a woman.”

Last night Acne opened up their first London store on Dover street. The studio (as they call it) is a house in the beautiful Mayfair. There’s a floor for denim, a floor each for the men’s and women’s collections, and a floor for footwear right at the very top. And if you happen to get tired after all those stairs, there’s even space for you to take a rest on a small outdoor terrace where they serve champagne. The store’s design pays tribute to the building’s former role as an art gallery. Think stark studio-style décor - white walls, Danish pine floors, Swedish concrete - and a huge number of works on display, including work from resident artists Jean Cocteau, Jeremiah Goodman and Katerina Jebb.
Interview With Jonny Johansson.
I am very excited about this and really want to visit the store soon..
